VTT Use Data by Game Played - ???

Lanefan · Jan 10, 2023

Every now and then - each quarter, I think - someone (probably @Morrus ) used to post data in here showing what percentage of VTT games were played using what system (e.g. D&D 5e, Pathfinder, CoC, etc.), usually in a great big pie chart.

I don't know what these threads were titled, and search finds me nothing; hand-scrolling back through last April doesn't find one either. Can someone point me to the most recent such data, and is that data still being issued?

Orr Group report for one of them.

I don't know if they can gather data for Foundry VTT and Fantasy Grounds, but Roll20 definitely has data for opened game rooms. Couldn't find the correct stats in the forum somehow, but internet has something like this.

Is there a way to account for Foundry use? Im not sure on that VTT.

Yes, we cover it for FG and Roll20. I can't remembe roffhand what I call the thread titles though, so it would need a search. They are in the General TTRPG forum.

Any idea roughly when the last one was? I hand-scrolled back through TTRPG-General from current through last April and didn't find any such threads.

This one was the last one for Roll20 I think. I put "usage" in the title search bar fyi.

There's the quarter after that (still 2021) one out on the roll20 site: The Orr Report Q4 2021 · Roll20 Blog

and "The Orr Report have been confirmed to be "on hold". Dec 14th, 2022" via Orr Industry Report - Roll20 Wiki

Hmmmm...wonder why they're on hold. Anyone got any ideas?

Probably not fully, since it's essentially a self-installed piece of software that doesn't run out of any one centralized service. The best they could probably do is look at the subset of Foundry users who host through The Forge - assuming that service has the capability to gather that usage data and willingness to do so.
